DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention includes a variable display device for performing a variable display game based on the establishment of a predetermined starting condition, and a player based on a result of stopping the variable display game being a special display mode. To a gaming machine capable of generating a special gaming state advantageous to the gaming machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a predetermined starting condition such as a winning of a game ball to a starting winning port provided in a game area is established, a plurality of identification information (for example, 0 to 9, A, B, C,
A variable display device for performing a variable display game by changing the display of symbols such as D and E, and stopping the variable display game after a certain period of time has elapsed; and the stop result mode is a special display mode (for example, 7, 7, 7). There is known a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine which generates a special gaming state in which a variable winning device is opened so as to be advantageous to a player when it is determined that the player has an advantage.

In this type of gaming machine, the display section of the variable display device is divided into, for example, three sections, and a variable display game is started in which a plurality of pieces of identification information are sequentially switched and displayed on each display section. After the passage of time, the switching display (scroll) of each display unit is sequentially stopped (for example, the left symbol,
The variable display game is ended by stopping the middle symbol and the right symbol in this order), and the combination of the stopped symbols on each display unit at the time of the end is a special display mode (for example, 7, 7, 7, etc.). , The special game state is generated.

[0004]

However, in a variable display game of a conventional gaming machine, when the game is stopped, for example, the left, middle, and right display portions are displayed at a certain timing in the order of a left symbol, a middle symbol, and a right symbol. Since the stop timing was always constant in the case where the stop symbol of each display part was out of place and in the case of the special display mode, the expectation of the occurrence of the special display mode in the variable display game was sufficient. It was not a display control that would improve it.

[0005] Therefore, for example, when the symbols on two of the three display units are stopped, there is a possibility of a special display mode (for example, 7, 7,-(-is not yet stopped)). A gaming machine that performs a reach variable display in which scrolling in a display unit to be stopped last is made slower than normal stop and the time is extended for a longer time has been considered. However, in the reach variable display, in order to generate a reach state in a state where the left symbol, the middle symbol is stopped, the combination of the symbols to be a special display mode is known at the time of the left symbol, the middle symbol, Until the end, the reach variable display is not an entertaining reach variable display that can give an uncertain expectation on which symbol the special display mode will occur.

Further, in a game store, when a special game state occurs, depending on the type of the special display mode, a predetermined service (for example, in the case of 7, 7, 7 is used without exchanging balls). Service that allows you to continue playing games, etc.)
The player is not only interested in the occurrence of the special display mode but also interested in the type of the special display mode. In the conventional reach variable display, a pattern that can provide a service at the time when the reach state occurs. It is not such that it is known whether or not the combination of the symbols causes the special game mode to be generated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to sufficiently increase a sense of expectation for the occurrence of a special display state during a variable display game, and to reduce the possibility of the special display mode being stopped. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of increasing the player's expectation of the type of special game mode until the end of the variable display game.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a plurality of variable display portions capable of variably displaying a plurality of identification information (for example, a variable design of a left symbol of the variable display portion 21). A variable display device (20) having a display portion, a variable display portion of a medium symbol, and a variable display portion of a right symbol), and a variable display game is generated by the plurality of variable display portions based on satisfaction of a predetermined starting condition. A game in which a special game state advantageous to the player can be generated based on the combination of the identification information in the plurality of variable display sections due to the stop of the variable display game being a predetermined special display mode. Display control means (for example, a first computer system 600 and a second computer system 660) for performing display control on the plurality of variable display units in a machine (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1). Wherein the display control means controls a scroll and a scroll speed for cyclically displaying a plurality of identification information used in the variable display game in a predetermined order on each display of the plurality of variable display units. Scroll display control means (for example, first
Computer system 600 and a second computer system 660), wherein the scroll display control means scrolls the scroll speed of the identification information in each of the variable display portions to the player during the variable display game. Controlling at a low speed capable of recognizing identification information is performed, and the scroll speed of each of the variable display units is made to coincide with each other, so that the combination of predetermined identification information scrolled by the plurality of variable display units is the special display. Control including reach variable display control for scrolling in a state where the mode can be achieved is adopted.

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, when the li-zhi state is reached during the variable display game, the scroll speeds of the plurality of variable display units are made lower by matching the scroll speeds. Since the reach variable display is performed so that the combination of the identification information can be scrolled in a state where the special display mode can be used, the player can be more expected to stop in the special display mode, and a novel novelty can be obtained. The display becomes a highly enjoyable reach variable display. In addition, a highly entertaining reach variable display that keeps the expectation for a long time so that the player cannot recognize to which type the special display mode occurs until the end is displayed.

When one of the upper and lower symbols in the middle symbol and the right symbol matches the down scroll (slow scroll) and the possibility of a big hit occurs,
In the reach state, the duration of the down-scroll of the auxiliary game is extended as compared with the normal state. At the time of extension, the three symbols of the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are fluctuated together with a slow down scroll without shifting their phases.

In this case, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20,
The arrangement of the symbols (order) is the same for the left symbol and the middle symbol,
Since the arrangement of the right symbols is reversed, only one symbol is aligned (double-eye state), and the other parts are not aligned.
It fluctuates.

When the extension time has elapsed, the auxiliary game (variable display game) is completed, and the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are stopped simultaneously. If it stops at a place where the upper or lower symbol at the time of the stop does not match all three, it will be "missing" and the auxiliary game (variable display game) will be awarded to the starting winning openings 4, 5, 6 Or it is repeatedly performed based on the winning memory. However, when stopping at a position where all three upper or lower symbols match at the time of the stop, a "big hit" is made and a big hit game (special game state) is performed.

Here, the "big hit" game (special game state) is a game mode in which the player is provided with many prize ball chances. In this embodiment, the variable prize device 5 is used.
A predetermined number of times (for example, 22 seconds) of opening of the movable members 51, 51 for 0 cycle (for example, 22 seconds) (however, before the predetermined time elapses, a predetermined number of game balls (for example, in the large winning opening 52 of the variable winning device 50). When a prize is won, the opening up to that point is defined as one cycle), and during each cycle, a game ball flows into the continuous prize port 53 of the large prize port 52 of the variable prize apparatus 50 and the continuous prize therein. Detection switch 56 (SW

Next, among various controls by the control system configured as described above, the first display control means 741 to 741 which are performed from the time when the game ball wins the starting winning opening until the “big hit” occurs. The operation of the state change display means 780 by the six display control means 746 will be described in detail.

In the control system having the above-described structure, when the power is turned on and the gaming machine enters a normal operating state,
First, an initial symbol is displayed on the variable display device 20 by the second control means 830 (including numbers and symbols).

At this time, the normal game state (normal operation state) is displayed on the state change display means 780 including a plurality of lamp groups.
Is input from the first display control means 741, and the first display control means 741 causes the state change display means 780 to perform the normal game state display (normal operation display).

In an initial state immediately after the power is turned on, a signal indicating that there is no small discharge unprocessed number is sent from the arithmetic storage means 701 to the prize ball discharge control means 761. Here, the small discharge unprocessed number refers to a portion of the total number of game balls that have won the winning opening (start winning opening) in which seven discharges are performed, for which the corresponding discharge processing (small discharge processing) has not been completed yet. The number of winning balls. Accordingly, when the small discharge unprocessed number remains, the prize ball discharge by the prize ball discharge device 810 is prioritized to the normal number discharge (13 discharge) and the small discharge (7 discharge) is performed as described above. A process for exciting the limit solenoid 814b (FIG. 11) is performed.

Therefore, when the signal indicating that there is no small discharge unprocessed number is sent as described above, the limit solenoid 814b is demagnetized and the prize ball discharging device 8 is deactivated.

Is discharged.

In this state, the game is played and the starting winning opening 4,
When the gaming ball is finished in either of 5,6, the winning is detected by starting winning signal generating means SW ₁ detection signal of the win is sent to the arithmetic storage means 701.

The arithmetic storage means 701 calculates an added value (total number) of the number of winning balls which have won the starting winning opening based on the detection signal, and calculates one addition ball from the winning ball discharge control means 761. Each time a signal indicating that the corresponding one prize ball discharging process is completed is input, the addition value is subtracted by 1 to perform a small discharge unprocessed number (small discharge of prize balls (for example, 7 The unprocessed number of winning balls which have not been discharged) are calculated.

When a signal (small discharge unprocessed number present signal) indicating that the number of unprocessed small discharges remains, which is obtained as a result of the calculation, is sent to the prize ball discharge control means 761, the limit solenoid 814b is activated. When excited, the prize ball discharging device 810 is switched to a state in which small discharging (for example, seven discharging) is performed.

On the other hand, the arithmetic storage means 701 separately adds the number of winning balls winning the starting winning opening, and stores the added value within a predetermined limit (for example, the maximum value is "4"). . The added value stored in this way is decremented by one every time a signal sent from the start command signal generating means 702 (the signal is generated every time the variable display game is performed once) is input. The signal representing the subtracted value is sent to the command signal generating means 702, and the variable display game is repeatedly executed until the subtracted value becomes "0". The processed number signal is sent to the storage display control means 704, and the unprocessed number (winning storage number) is displayed on the winning number storage display means 770.

When a start command signal is sent from the start command signal generating means 702 to the second control means 830 based on the variable display game unprocessed number signal, the second control means 8
30 outputs a display control command signal, and the variable display device 20

On the other hand, a signal indicating that the start command signal has been sent to the second control means 830 is sent to the operation storage means 701 as described above, and is subtracted from the added value, and a signal indicating the operation result is obtained. Is sent to the storage display control means 704, and the winning number storage display means 770 displays the subtracted number.

The start command signal from the start command signal generation means 702 is also sent to the first display control means 741 at the same time, and the first display control means 741 displays the initial symbol display by the state change display means 780. A signal for terminating is output.

At the same time, the command signal from the start command signal generating means 702 is sent to the second display control means 742, and the second display control means 742 sends the state change display means 780 to the variable display device. Outputs a signal indicating that the symbol is rotating (rotating signal), and the state change display means 780 converts the symbol into a symbol variation display indicating that the symbol is rotating based on the rotating signal. Is done.

Further, the start command signal from the start command signal generating means 702 is sent to the stop command signal generating means 703.

The stop command signal generation means 703 sends a stop command signal to the second control means 830 when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the change of the variable display symbol, and at this time, the second control means 830 Of the variable display of the variable display device 20 due to the change of the symbol.

Further, the stop command signal from the stop command signal generating means 703 is used as a signal indicating that the change of the variable display symbol has been stopped, by the second, fourth and thirteenth display control means 7.
42, 744, 753.

The second display control means 742 receives the stop command signal and terminates the symbol change display by the state change display means 780. On the other hand, when the fourth display control means 744 receives the stop command signal, and further receives a signal (reach signal) indicating the occurrence of the reach state from the reach signal generation means 712 described later, the variable display game The state change display means 780 is converted to a reach display to indicate that the reach state has occurred.

The reach signal is transmitted from the second control means 830 to the reach determination means 711 during the change of the variable display.
The signal indicating the fluctuation state of the variable display device sent to
The reach determining means 711 determines whether or not the possibility of occurrence of a “big hit” is included (whether or not a reach state has been reached) and outputs the result.

That is, the reach determining means 711 determines that the second
Is determined to be the reach state based on the signal from the control means 830, the reach determination signal is sent to the reach signal generation means 712, and the reach signal generation means 71

This reach display is performed prior to various displays (state change displays) based on the third display control means 743, the fifth display control means 745, and the thirteenth display control means 753, which will be described later. , For a predetermined time. By the time when the reach display is completed after a predetermined time has elapsed, a result of whether the variable display game by the variable display device 20 is “big hit” or “losing” is obtained, and based on the result, After the end of the reach display, a state change display (loss display, wait time state at the time of big hit occurrence) by any one of the third display control means 743 and the fifth display control means 745 is performed.

On the other hand, when the stop command signal is generated and no reach signal is generated from the reach signal generating means 712, the state change display (reach display) by the fourth display control means 744 is not performed. Instead, the thirteenth display control means 753 operates to change the state change display means 780 to a variable display stop display indicating that the variable display game on the variable display device has ended (in this embodiment, the same as the normal game state display). Display mode).

If the reach display does not occur and the reach display is not performed as a result of the variable display game, the third display control means 743 controls the state change display means 780.
Is converted to a loss display.

Incidentally, whether the variable display game by the variable display device 20 is "big hit" or "losing" is determined as follows. That is, when the variable display game is played by the variable display device 20, a signal indicating the result is sent from the second control means 830 to the big hit determination means 713. The jackpot determining means 713 makes a determination of "big hit" / "losing" based on the signal, and when the result of the variable display game is "big hit", the big hit signal generating means 716 generates a big hit signal. Is output. On the other hand, when "losing" occurs, a determination signal is output to the loss signal generating means 714 to generate a loss signal. When the "big hit" is likely to occur as described above, the reach display is performed by the fourth display control means 744. On the other hand, when the reach display is not performed, the variable display game is always "losing". Loss display is performed by the third display control means 743.

When the big hit determination means 713 determines that "losing", the loss signal generating means 714
Sends a losing signal to the losing wait time end signal generating means 715, and after a lapse of a predetermined time, sends a losing wait time end signal from the losing wait time end signal generating means 715 to the first and third display control means 741 and 743. Can be In response to the loss wait time end signal, the third display control means 743 causes the state change display means 780 to end the loss display,

80 is converted to a normal game state display indicating a normal game state.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination by the big hit determination means 713 is determined to be "big hit", a determination signal is sent to the big hit signal generation means 716 as described above.

The big hit signal generating means 716 receives the judgment signal and sends a big hit signal to the fifth display control means 745.
The fifth display control means 745 causes the state change display means 780 to display a wait time state when a big hit occurs to notify the wait time state of the big hit game start.

As described above, the fourth display control means 7
When the reach display by 44 is performed, the fifth display control means 745 displays a wait time state at the time of a big hit by the fifth display control means 745 after the end of the display.

The big hit signal from the big hit signal generating means is further converted to a big hit wait time end signal generating means 717.
Also sent to. This wait time end signal generating means 7
Reference numeral 17 denotes a jackpot wait time end signal sent to the fifth display control means 745 when a predetermined time has elapsed after receiving the jackpot signal, and the fifth display control means 745 outputs a wait time when a jackpot occurs by the state change display means 780. Cancel the status display.

Output a signal. The opening start signal output in this manner is sent to the variable winning device 50, and the large winning opening 52 of the variable winning device 50 is opened. This results in a substantial "big hit" condition. Further, the release start signal from the release start signal generation means 721 is the sixth release signal.
It is also sent to the display control means 746 and the state change display means 7
80 is converted to an open state display before the continuation condition is satisfied, indicating that the continuation condition has not been satisfied yet after the opening of the special winning opening 52.

At the same time, the opening start signal is also sent to an opening end signal generating means 722, which will be described later in detail, and further to a continuation number judging means 728, and is used for various controls after the occurrence of a "big hit".

Next, the seventh display control means 747 to the fourteenth display control means 7 which are performed after the "big hit" once occurs.
The state of the operation of the state change display means 780 by 54 will be described together with the change of the operation of the variable winning device 50.

As described above, when the opening start signal is generated from the opening start signal generating means 721 after the occurrence of the "big hit", the large winning opening 52 of the variable winning device 50 is opened.

When a game ball wins in the continuous winning opening 53 in the special winning opening 52 with the large winning opening 52 opened as described above, the gaming ball is continuously won by the signal generating means 56 (SW).
₂ ), and the continuous winning signal generation means 56 (S
W ₂ ), the continuous winning detection signal is output from the sixth display control means 7
46 and the seventh display control means 747. In response to the input of the continuous winning signal, the sixth display control means 746 causes the state change display means 780 to end the open state display before the continuation condition is satisfied. On the other hand, the seventh display control means 747 converts the state change display means 780 to the open state display after the continuation condition is satisfied.

As described above, when the continuation condition is satisfied and the state change display means 780 shows the open state after the continuation condition is satisfied, or when the continuation condition is not satisfied and the state change display means 780 continues. When the open state is displayed before the condition is satisfied, the open start signal is input to the open end signal generating means 722, and a signal from the winning number determination means 724 described later (this signal is The result of the determination as to whether or not the number is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, 10) is also input to the release end signal generating means 722. The open end signal generating means 722 receives the signal from the winning number determination means 724 or a predetermined time has elapsed since the input of the open start signal, whichever comes first. At this time, a signal (opening end signal) for instructing the end of the opening of the special winning opening 52 is sent to the variable winning device 50 to end the opening, and at the same time, the opening end signal is sent to the seventh display control means 7.
47, and the open state display is terminated after the continuation condition is satisfied by the seventh display control means 747, which has been performed so far. Further, the release end signal is supplied to a ninth display control means 7 described later.
The ninth display control means 749 causes the state change display means 780 to end the special winning opening opening end display.

By the way, the signal representing the determination result from the winning number determination means 724 is output as follows.

That is, the above-mentioned opening start signal generating means 721
When the special winning opening 52 of the variable winning device 50 is open based on the opening start signal from the
When a winning is made during the second game, the fact is detected by the special winning opening winning signal generating means 57 (SW ₃ ), and a special winning opening winning detection signal is generated each time the detection is made. The large winning detection signal generated in this manner is added by the winning number adding means 723, and it is determined by the winning number determining means 724 whether or not the added value indicating the winning number of the game balls is equal to or larger than a predetermined value. You.

The release end signal from the release end signal generation means 722 is also sent to the interval start signal generation means 726 and the jackpot end wait time signal generation means 730.

The interval start signal generation means 726 and the jackpot end wait time signal generation means 73
To 0, the continuous winning determination signal from the continuous winning determining means 725 is input.

Of these, the big hit end wait time signal generating means 730 detects that the "big hit" state will soon be reached when the continuous winning judgment signal has not yet been input from the continuous winning judgment means 725 at the time of inputting the opening end signal. A big hit end wait time signal is output to the eleventh display control means 751 in order to display the end of the process for a predetermined time (big hit end wait time state display).
Upon receiving the big hit end wait time signal, the eleventh display control means 751 causes the state change display means 780 to display the big hit end wait time state.

Incidentally, the above-mentioned continuous winning determination means 725.
Receives the signal from the continuous winning signal generation means 56 (SW ₂ ) input to the second control means 830 from the second control means 830, and determines whether the continuation condition is satisfied. The signal representing the determination result is further sent to the second control means 830. When the second control means 830 receives the signal and the continuation condition is satisfied, the second control means 830 causes the variable display device 20 to perform a display indicating that the continuation condition is satisfied.

If the determination signal that the game ball has won the continuous winning opening 53 from the continuous winning determination means 725 has been input to the interval start signal generating means 726, the interval start signal generating means 726 determines that the interval start signal has been started. The signal is sent to the eighth display control means 748, and the state change display means 780 is converted by the eighth display control means 748 into an interval wait time state display indicating that the interval is in the wait time.

The wait time of this interval is used to provide a predetermined time interval from when the opening of the special winning opening 52 is completed by the generation of the opening end signal to when the predetermined continuation condition is satisfied and the opening is performed again. The opening start signal of the next cycle is output only after the elapse of the predetermined time interval.

The display of the interval wait time state by the eighth display control means 748 is performed prior to the end display of the special winning opening (display by the ninth display control means 749). Is completed, the release start signal is generated,
Again, an open state display before the continuation condition is satisfied by the sixth display control means 746 is performed by the state change display means 780.

The interval start signal is also sent to the interval end signal generating means 727 at the same time, and the interval end signal generating means 727 sends the interval end signal to the eighth display control when a predetermined time has passed since the above signal was sent. This is sent to the means 748, which stops the display of the interval wait time state by the state change display means 780.

When the interval wait time state display is finished, either the special winning opening opening end display or the big hit end wait time state display by the eleventh display control means 751 described later is performed again. I have. The interval end signal is also sent to the opening start signal generating means 721, and based on the signal, the opening of the special winning opening 52 by the variable winning device 50 is permitted.

As described above, once a "big hit" occurs, the special winning opening is opened, and the special game state is established, the above-described series of controls (the state change display means 780, the variable display device 2)
0, control of the variable winning device 50) is repeatedly performed within a predetermined cycle (for example, 10 cycles) on condition that the game ball wins the continuous winning opening 53 in the variable winning device 50.

That is, when the continuation winning determination means 725 determines that the continuation condition is satisfied, the fact is notified via the interval start signal generation means 726 and the interval end signal generation means 727 (to determine whether the interval end signal (By input) to the opening start signal generating means 721.

The opening start signal generating means 721 uses a signal indicating that the continuation condition is satisfied (an interval end signal is used) or a signal indicating the occurrence of a big hit (a big hit wait time end signal) input when a "big hit" is generated. ), An opening start signal is output to control opening of the special winning opening of the variable winning device 50 as described above.
On the other hand, the opening start signal is sent to the continuation number determining means 728 in order to count the number of opening of the special winning opening.

The number-of-continuations determining means 728 determines whether the number of times of inputting the opening start signal, that is, the actual number of opening of the special winning opening after the occurrence of the "big hit" has reached a predetermined number (for example, 10 times). When the determination unit 728 determines that the number of times has not yet reached the predetermined number, that is, the first to ninth
Until the cycle, in each cycle, the special winning opening 52 is displayed when the special winning opening 52 is opened (including both before and after the continuation condition is satisfied) and when the interval wait time is closed. The display of the interval wait time state is performed according to the above-described procedure.

On the other hand, when the last cycle is reached and a determination signal indicating the last cycle is sent from the continuation number determination means 728 to the final cycle signal generation means 729,
The last cycle signal generating means 729 sends a last cycle signal to the ninth display control means 749.

The ninth display control means 749 receives the signal indicating the last cycle and, at the same time, performs the special winning opening opening end display by the state change displaying means 780 (the special winning opening opening end display is the same as that described above). Stop when an open end signal is input from the open end signal generating means).

The last cycle signal generating means 729
Is sent to the final cycle wait time signal generating means 731. The means 731 sends the final cycle end wait time signal to the tenth display control means 750 after a lapse of a predetermined time after receiving the final cycle signal. Occur. The tenth display control means 750 receives the signal and causes the state change display means 780 to display the end of the last cycle.

The last cycle end wait time signal is also sent to the big hit end signal generating means 732 at the same time.

The big hit end signal generating means 732 is a big hit end wait time signal from the big hit end wait time signal generating means 730 (this signal is generated after a lapse of a predetermined time from the release end signal generation in the last cycle).
And the last cycle end wait time signal, the jackpot end signal is also sent to the first and eleventh display control means and further to the tenth display control means 750, and the tenth display control means While the final cycle end wait time state display by 750 and the big hit end wait time state display by the eleventh display control means 751 are stopped, the normal game state display is made by the first display control means 741 on the state change display means 780. It has become.

The status change display means 780 includes:
Fourteenth display control means 754 for inputting signals from start winning signal generation means (SW ₁ ) and storage display control means 704
And the fourteenth display control means 754 generates a signal from the start winning signal generation means (SW ₁ ) under the condition that the winning number storage stored in the storage display control means 704 is smaller than four. In accordance with the timing, the state change display means 78 displays a display (start winning opening winning display) indicating that the game ball has won a specific winning opening (start winning opening).
0 is performed.

Further, the first signal input from the unauthorized signal generating means 760 is input to the state change displaying means 780.
The second display control means 752 is connected, and the twelfth display control means 752 displays a fraudulent display on the state change display means 780 based on a signal (fraud signal) from the fraud signal generation means 760 indicating fraud. It is made to be performed. It should be noted that the unauthorized display by the twelfth display control means 752 is based on the other display control means (741 to 751,
753, 754).

In the present embodiment, the first control means 70
0 means that the profit state creating means is in the second control means 830
The variable display game means are respectively constituted by
The reach state identification display control means is constituted by the fourth display control means 744 of the control means.

FIG. 16 shows a state display control processing procedure of the state change display means 780 performed by the first control means (accessory control means) 700 shown in FIG. 15, and FIG. 17 shows the state display control processing. 2 shows the procedure of the interrupt processing in the middle.

The state display control processing and the interruption processing are configured as state display control processing for making the player visually recognize the change of the game state one by one by the change of the display of the state change display means 780.

When the state display control processing is started, first, in step S2, the state change display means 780 is caused to display a normal game state indicating a normal game state, and then in step S4.
Move to

In the step S4, the starting winning opening 4,
It is determined whether or not there is a winning unprocessed memory (winning number storage) in which the variable display game has not been played after winning the prizes 5 and 6. If it is determined that there is no winning unprocessed memory, the process returns to step S2. The normal game state display is continuously performed by the state change display means 780, and when it is determined that there is a winning unprocessed storage, the variable display of the variable display device 20 is started to change (start of the variable display game) in the next step S6. After waiting, the flow shifts to step S8, where the state change display means 780 is changed to the symbol change display, that is, the variable display game display, and the flow shifts to step S10.

In step S10, it is determined whether or not a possibility of occurrence of a big hit has occurred during the variable display game (ie, whether or not a reach state has been reached). As a result, there was no possibility of a big hit occurring (there was no reach state).
When it is determined in step S12 that the variable display has been changed (the variable display game has been completed) in step S12, the process proceeds to step S12.
In step 14, the display is converted into a symbol change stop display, and the next step S16
Then, the state change display means 780 is changed to the loss display, and the process returns to step S4. However, when it is determined that the possibility of occurrence of a big hit has occurred (it has reached the reach state), the state change display unit 780 is converted to reach display in step S18, and the end of the change of the variable display is waited for in the next step S20. After that, in step S22, the state change display means 780 is converted into a symbol change stop display, and the process proceeds to step S24.

In step S24, it is determined whether or not the stop display mode as the variable display change end result is a big hit mode. As a result, when it is determined that the mode is not the jackpot, the state change display means 780 is converted to the loss display in step S16, and the process returns to step S4. However, when it is determined that the game is in the big hit mode, the state change display means 780 is converted to the big hit wait time state display in step S26, and the process proceeds to step S30.

Then, before the final cycle,
The process shifts from step S30 to step S32, in which the state change display means 780 is changed to an open state display before the continuation condition is satisfied, and the process shifts to step S34.

In step S34, the continuous winning opening 53
It is determined whether or not the first prize has been won. Then, as long as there is no first winning in the continuous winning opening 53, a predetermined time elapses after the opening of the winning opening 52 in the cycle in step S36, or the number of winnings in the winning opening 52 is increased. Step S3 until it is determined that the number has reached 10.
Returning to step 2, the loop of steps S32, S34 and S36 is repeated while maintaining the open state display before the continuation condition is satisfied. In this loop, if a predetermined time has elapsed after opening the special winning opening 52 before the winning in the continuous winning opening 52, or if the number of winnings in the special winning opening 52 reaches ten, the step is executed. The process proceeds from S36 to step S38, in which the state change display means 780 is converted into a big hit end wait time state display, and the process returns to step S4. However, before the first winning in the continuous winning opening 53, the process proceeds from step S34 to step S40, where the state change display means 780 is changed to the open state display after the continuation condition is satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S42. Transition.

Then, in step S42, the process returns to step S40 until the predetermined time elapses after the opening of the special winning opening 53 or it is determined that ten winnings have been made in the special winning opening 53, and the open condition is established after the continuation condition is satisfied. The display is maintained, and when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed or that ten winnings have been made in the special winning opening 53, the process proceeds from step S42 to step S44 to change the state change display means 780 to the interval wait time. After converting to the status display, the process returns to step S30.

Then, the flow shifts to step S32 to repeat the above-mentioned state display control processing until it is determined in step S30 that the last cycle has been reached.

Then, in the final cycle, step S
When the process returns to step S30, it is determined in step S30 that the last cycle has been reached, and the process proceeds to step S46, where the state change display means 780 is changed to the special winning opening opening end display, and then the process proceeds to step S48. Then, in step S48, while the predetermined time has elapsed since the shift to the final cycle, or until it is determined that ten winnings have been made in the special winning opening 53, the final cycle special winning opening display state is maintained while the step is maintained. The loop of S46 and S48 is repeated, and when the predetermined time has elapsed or when it is determined that ten winnings have been made in the special winning opening 53, the process proceeds to step S50, and the end of the last cycle is displayed by the state change display means 780. Then, the process returns to step S4.

During this state display control processing, an interruption processing shown in FIG. 17 is appropriately performed.

[0177] This interrupt processing is performed for the starting winning ports 4, 5, 6
This is a display process for performing a winning display and an unauthorized display.

When this interrupt processing is started, first, it is determined in step S60 whether or not there is a winning in the starting winning openings 4, 5, and 6. If it is determined that there is no winning, the process directly proceeds to step S64. When it is determined that there is a prize, in the following step S61, it is determined whether or not the number of prize pieces stored at this point in the storage and display means 704 (FIG. 15) is smaller than 4. If the determination result is "Yes", a start winning display is performed to indicate that the start condition of the variable display game has been satisfied (step S62), and then the process proceeds to step S64. On the other hand, when the determination result of the step S61 is "No", that is, when the prize balls of the four or more prize balls to the starting prize port are already stored in the storage display control means 704 by this time, the prize is performed. The process proceeds directly to step S64 without displaying that the ball has won the start winning opening.

After the winning number storage / display means 770 displays the winning number, the process proceeds to step S64.

In the step S64, it is determined whether or not there is any fraud. As a result, if it is determined that there is no fraud, the process directly returns to the state display control process of FIG. However, when it is determined that there is a fraud, the process proceeds to step S66 to perform fraudulent display and to hold.

Fixed data such as variable display data, display patterns thereof, and a jackpot display mode are stored.

Examples of the left, middle, and right symbols of the variable display data stored in the ROM 662 are shown as 20 sets of displays in FIGS. 19A, 19B, and 19C, respectively. Further, examples of the display mode of the big hit are shown in FIG.
Forty combinations up to (40) are shown as display.

In the control system having the above configuration, first, a start switch (not shown) is turned on and the power supply circuit 64 is turned on.
When electricity is supplied from the microcomputer 1 to the microcomputer 610, the microcomputer 610 sends the I / O port 65
2, a display command signal is sent to the variable display microcomputer 661, and the variable display microcomputer 661 stops the initial symbol display on the liquid crystal panel 420.

A display command signal indicating the normal game state from the microcomputer 610 is sent to the I / O circuit 652, and the decorative lamps LED5 to 14 are displayed from the inside to the outside and outside as the normal game state display indicating the normal game state. Alternately, the decoration lamps LED15 to 22 are blinked so as to flow from the outside to the inside, and the decoration lamp L1 is blinked, and the white cold-cathode tube 323 is turned on.

Also, the random numbers in the random number table in the ROM 620 are constantly updated each time the frequency-divided signal from the frequency divider 644 rises and is input to the reset terminal RST.

[0194] When the game ball in any of the starting winning opening 4,5,6 and gaming in this state is made to prize, the ON signal waveform shaping circuit start winning detection switch SW ₁ in each the winning is turned on 651 and then input to the microcomputer 610 and stored in the ROM

The data is sequentially stored in M630. In the case of this embodiment, the number of random numbers stored in the RAM 630 is up to five including those during execution of the variable display game. Then, a winning number storage display lamp LED corresponding to the number of stored random numbers obtained by subtracting one of the stored random numbers during execution of the variable display game.
1 to 4 are lit. Then, the variable display microcomputer 661 changes the variable display of the liquid crystal panel 420 based on the random number initially stored in the RAM 630. Each time the change of the variable display starts, one of the lit winning indicator lamps LED1 to LED4 is turned off.

In the variable display game, a normal variable display game in which a big hit cannot be generated (no reach state occurs) and a variable reach in which a big hit can be generated (a reach state occurs) can be generated according to random numbers in which the game is played. Divided into display games.

When the game is a normal variable display game, the liquid crystal panel 420 is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 420 in FIG.
(B), a total of 20 left symbols, each of which is a set such that two of the 20 symbols shown in (C) are simultaneously displayed,
The middle symbol and the right symbol are randomly changed one by one, and after a lapse of a predetermined time, or when a stop button is provided, the three symbols are converted to a down scroll state after the stop button is pressed. When a predetermined time has passed, the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are stopped in this order, and the stopped symbol is determined.

In this case, in the variable display game, taking the left symbol of FIG. 19A as an example, the second set of “1, 0” is gradually scrolled down from the display of “1, 0” of the first set. The scroll is performed so as to display "2, 1". Therefore, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9, the left symbol (A) and the middle symbol (B) have an array of symbols "0, 1, 2,...,%, Z,?" ) Is an array in which the left symbol and the right symbol are reversed from bottom to top such that “?, Z,%... 2, 1, 0”.

During the normal variable display game, based on a display command from the microcomputer 610, the decoration lamps LED15 to 22 are blinked so as to flow from the outside to the inside, and the decoration lamps L1 and L2 blinks, just like during normal games
The white cold-cathode tube 323 is turned on, and the screen of the liquid crystal panel 420 is kept in a state where it looks like cherry blossom.

On the other hand, at the end of the normal down-scroll, the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are scrolled in an aligned manner at any position on the symbol array (either the upper or lower symbol is aligned). When there is a possibility of a big hit (when it reaches the reach state), the normal down-scroll is continued (extended) without shifting the phases of the left symbol, the middle symbol and the right symbol. Perform display down scrolling at a slow speed. In this reach state, in particular, as a reach display based on a command from the microcomputer 610,
The hit lamp L3 blinks, and the white cold-cathode tube 323 blinks.

When the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are stopped, regardless of whether the symbols are in the reach state or not, based on a command from the microcomputer 610, the decorative lamp LED5 is displayed as a symbol change stop display. ~ 1
4, 15 to 22, the decorative lamps L1, L2, L3, and L6 are turned off, and the white cold-cathode tube 323 is turned back on.

When the microcomputer 660 determines that the stop symbol is a loss, the decoration lamps LED 5 to 14 are simultaneously blinked as a loss display based on a display command from the microcomputer 610, and the decoration is performed. The lamp LEDs 15 to 22 are blinked so as to flow from outside to inside.

When the state of the stop symbol is changed to one of the modes (1) to (40) in FIG. When it is determined to be "big hit", the following steps are performed from the time of determining the occurrence of the big hit to the end of the big hit game (special game) based on the display command from the microcomputer 610. A big jackpot is displayed.

That is, from the time of determining the occurrence of the big hit to the start of the game of the big hit (the big winning opening 52 is first opened), the decorative lamp is displayed as the wait time state when the big hit occurs. When the LEDs 5 to 14 flash simultaneously, the decorative lamps L1, L2, L6, the hit display lamp L3, and the big hit operation display lamp L4 are converted to a flashing state. In addition, based on a display command from the variable display microcomputer 661, the liquid crystal panel 420 first blinks the symbol causing the big hit, and then, as shown in FIG. 21, a display in which the doll repeats the banzai. After that, the “Yacht!
Is displayed by up scrolling. In the meantime, the white cold-cathode tubes 323 and the blue cold-cathode tubes 324 are turned on as appropriate in accordance with the message.

When the special winning opening 52 is opened in the first to ninth cycles, the liquid crystal panel 420 displays the number of continuous cycles at the position of the left symbol, the bar symbol at the position of the middle symbol, and the symbol of the right symbol.

FIG. 25 shows a control processing procedure of the main processing performed by the computer systems 600 and 660 of FIG.

This main processing is an input processing for inputting the state of each of the switches SW ₁ , SW ₂ , SW _{3 and the} like of the pachinko gaming machine 1, performing chattering elimination, and preparing a format usable in another phase (phase 0). To determine whether or not it is activated by turning on the power and to check the specific RAM 630 area to
A determination is made as to whether M630 is normal or not, and an initialization process (phase 1) for starting by power-on or for initializing the RAM 630 area when the RAM 630 area is abnormal, edited output information To I / O port 6
And it outputs the 52 output processing for dual prize ball processing (phase 2), the game operation process, fraud monitoring processor and the switch SW _1, SW _2, the processing of the input monitoring processing of SW ₃ (Phase 3), the output edit , Sound editing / output and random number generation (phase 4).

When the main process is started, first, in step S100, the switches (SW ₁ , SW ₂ , SW ₃
Etc.), and then proceeds to step S101.

In step S101, it is determined whether or not the startup is performed by turning on the power. If not, the process proceeds to step S101 to perform a memory test (inspection of the specific RAM 630 area) to determine whether the RAM 630 is normal. Is determined.

As a result, when it is determined that the activation is due to power-on or when the RAM 630 is not normal, the RAM 630 area is initialized in step S110, and the process proceeds to step S111 to update the random number. .

However, when it is determined that the operation is not started by turning on the power and the memory (RAM 630) is normal, the output processing is performed in step S103, and the next step S103 is performed.
After performing the dual system prize ball processing in 104, step S10
Move to 5.

In step S105, it is determined whether or not there is a fraud. If there is no fraud, the game process is performed in step S106, the output is edited in the next step S107, and the process proceeds to step S109. In step S108, unauthorized processing is performed, and the process proceeds to step S109. And in any case, step S109
After editing and outputting the sound effect, the process proceeds to the next step S111 to update the random number.

This series of main processing is started by returning to step S100 each time a reset signal from frequency divider 644 is input to reset terminal RST of microcomputer 610.

FIG. 26 shows a control processing procedure of the input processing (phase 0) of the main processing of FIG.

In the input processing of the phase 0, the chattering of the switches SW ₁ , SW ₂ , SW _{3 and the} like is removed, and the current state (logical level) and the active state (rising edge) are detected.

When the input processing of the phase 0 is started, first, in steps S120 to S122, the RAM 63

₂ , SW _3, etc.), and each process of converting the active logic to the positive logic. After that, in steps S123 to S126, chattering removal processing, calculation of the current logical state, storage of the current state in the RAM 630, and storage of the active status in the RAM 630 are performed, and the process proceeds to step S127.

In step S127, it is determined whether or not the chattering time has ended. If it is determined that the chattering time has not ended, the process directly proceeds to the next phase 1 initialization process.
In step S130, the chattering time is initialized, the active status storage area of the RAM 630 is cleared, and the active state storage area is initialized. Then, the process proceeds to the next phase 1 initialization processing.

FIG. 27 shows a control processing procedure of the initialization processing (phase 1) of the main processing of FIG.

In the initialization processing of the phase 1, the power monitor is inspected to determine whether the power is turned on or the processing is continued. The result of the determination is that the power is turned on or the RAM 630
This is processing for initializing the RAM 630 area when the inspection area is abnormal.

When the processing of this phase 1 is started, it is first determined in step S140 whether or not the power is turned on. If the power is turned on, the process proceeds to step S141. If not, the process proceeds to step S142.

As a result, when the flow shifts to step S141, it is determined in step S141 whether or not the inspection area of the RAM 630 is normal. If it is normal, the flow shifts to the next phase 2 output processing. Step S14
Move to 2.

When the flow shifts to step S142, the RAM 630 area is initialized in step S142, and then the flow shifts to step S143, where the RAM 63
An initial value of a random number (RANDOM) is set in the 0 area.

Thereafter, in step S144, ordinary operation is set in the variable display section (420), and the next step S145 is executed.
Then, the delay time of turning on the power of the variable display unit (420) is set, and the flow shifts to step S146.

Then, in step S146, a digital initial display value (initial display symbol) is set, and in the next step S146
In 147, the inspection data is set in the inspection area of the RAM 630, and the flow shifts to step S800 in FIG.

FIGS. 28 to 30 show control processing procedures of the output processing (phase 2) of the main processing of FIG.

The output processing of this phase 2 is performed by setting the corresponding symbol storage area based on the judgment of the display counter updated in the remaining time, outputting the edited output information to the corresponding port, and selecting two systems corresponding to the input area. This is a process of performing a prize ball discharge process or the like.

When the processing of this phase 2 is started, first, in step S150 of FIG. 28, the display counter is determined (JUDGE1 processing), and the next step S15 is performed.
Move to 2.

In step S152, it is determined whether or not the symbol is a big hit symbol. If it is determined that the symbol is a big hit symbol, a big hit symbol area is designated in step S154, and step S158 is performed.
When it is determined that the symbol is not a big hit symbol, a departure symbol area is designated in step S156, and step S158 is performed.

In step S178 of FIG. 29, it is determined whether or not there is a prize in the starting winning openings 4, 5, and 6. If it is determined that there is no prize, the process directly proceeds to step S186. If it is determined that there is, a small discharge is performed in step S180. After the number of unprocessed storages is updated (+1 count-up), the flow shifts to step S182.

If it is determined in step S182 that the number of small discharge unprocessed storages is less than "256", the flow directly proceeds to step S186. If it is determined that the number of small discharge unprocessed storages is not less than "256", the small discharge unprocessed storage number is determined in step S184. Then, the process proceeds to step S186.

Then, in steps S186 to S190, it is determined whether the two-system control number corresponds to “0”, “1”, “2”, or “3”. As a result, when it is determined to be “0”, the process proceeds to step S192 in FIG. 30 to check the number of small discharge unprocessed storages at the start of the prize ball and to control the solenoid B, and when it is determined to be “1”, the crank cam 861 (FIG. 10) position detection sensor SWс (FIG. 1)
The process proceeds to step S204 to eliminate the chattering at the rising edge of 0). When it is determined to be "2", the process proceeds to step S216 in FIG. 30 to perform the decrement process of the small discharge unprocessed storage number, and when it is determined to be "3", the position detection sensor SW of the crank cam 861 (FIG. 10). The process shifts to the step S224 in FIG. 30 to perform the rising chattering elimination in (FIG. 10).

The flow shifts to 96, but if not at the "H" level (high level) (unless the award ball discharging operation is being performed), the flow directly shifts to step S234.

At step S196, it is determined whether or not the number of small discharge unprocessed storages is larger than "0".
When it is determined that the value is not larger, the process directly proceeds to step S200, and when it is determined that the value is larger than “0”, the OFF information of the solenoid B is set, and then the process proceeds to step S200.

Thus, when the flow shifts to step S200, the chattering elimination time (30

As a result, when it is determined that the signal is at the “H” level (high level) (prize ball discharging operation is being performed), the system control number is set to “1” in step S208, and chattering is removed in the next step S210. The timer is updated, and the routine goes to Step S212.
Is not at the “H” level (high level) (the award ball discharging operation is not being performed), the process directly proceeds to step S234.

In step S212, it is determined whether or not the chattering elimination time has expired. If it is determined that the chattering elimination time has expired, the dual system control number is set to "2" in step S214, and the flow shifts to step S234 to end. If it is determined that there is not, the process proceeds directly to step S234.

When the flow shifts to step S234, the control information in the register of the RAM 630 is stored in the control area in step S234, and then the flow shifts to the phase 3 processing.

It is determined as “2” and step S21 in FIG.
At step S216, it is determined in step S216 whether the solenoid B is on (it is in the normal number of discharge states), and it is not on (it is in the small discharge state). Is determined in step S218
After decrementing the number of small discharge unprocessed times by (-1), the process proceeds to step S220. If it is determined that the small discharge unprocessed process is on (the normal number of discharges is performed), the process directly proceeds to step S220.

Then, a chattering elimination time of 150 ms is set in step S220, and the two-system control number is set to "3" in next step S222, and the flow shifts to step S234.

When the process proceeds to step S234, the control information in the register of the RAM 630 is stored in the control area in step S234, and then the process proceeds to phase 3.

If it is determined that it is at the "H" level (high level) (prize ball discharging operation is being performed), the process proceeds to step S220 of the stored number updating process, and steps S220 and S2 are performed.
22, the processing of S234 is performed in order, and then the processing shifts to the processing of phase 3. Is not at the “H” level (high level) (the award ball discharging operation is not being performed), the process of setting the ON information of the solenoid B and the process of updating the chattering removal timer are performed in steps S226 and S228. After performing the steps in order, the process proceeds to step S230.

In step S230, it is determined whether or not the chattering elimination time has ended. If it is determined that the chattering elimination time has not ended, the flow directly proceeds to step S234. If it is determined that the chattering elimination time has ended, the two-system control number is set to "0". Then, the process proceeds to step S234.

When it is established, a "big hit" state is generated following the reach state, and the variable winning device is configured to be converted to a state capable of supplying a great profit to the player, and the pachinko game A plurality of lamp groups are installed in the machine, and the variable display control means performs the lamp group when the reach state occurs, and displays a display indicating the reach state in another state. The player can visually recognize the changing mode of the variable prize device 50 installed on the game board according to the lighting / flashing mode of various lamps included in the lamp group installed on the gaming machine. As a result, the interest in pachinko games will be enhanced.

In the present embodiment, the lamp groups for displaying various game modes such as the reach state are arranged as shown in FIG. 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. If so, it may be arranged at any position on the game board.

Also, in the variable display device of the present embodiment, the symbol display is formed by liquid crystal display on the liquid crystal panel of the liquid crystal unit 400. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to use a rotating drum and print a design on the rotating drum in advance, thereby displaying the design.

In the present embodiment, the display surface of the variable display device 20 is divided into three rows in the horizontal direction (a left symbol, a middle symbol, and a right symbol are displayed in each column). The display is divided into upper and lower rows (upper and lower rows), and variable display is performed in each of a total of six areas. In short, symbols are variably displayed in at least two or more areas. The display surface may be divided into any number as long as it can be recognized whether or not a relationship (for example, a reach state) is established.

The variable display device 20 of the present embodiment
Indicates a display symbol variably displayed by combining numbers and alphabets from 0 to 9; however, any symbol such as a symbol may be variably displayed as long as the symbol is identifiable from the others.

In the down scrolling (slow scroll) performed during the reach state, only one of the 20 symbols is arranged in the arrangement of the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol (the other 19 symbols are aligned). This is performed in a state where there are no symbols. Of the 20 symbols, one or more symbols may be arranged in such a manner that the scroll is performed in a state where one or more symbols are aligned. The down scroll may be performed in a state where the symbols are aligned.

The reach state of the present embodiment is performed only when a “big hit” occurs. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
A reach state may be generated before another special game state occurs, and the reach state may be displayed on the state change display unit 780.

[0430]

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, when a reach state occurs during a variable display game, the scroll speeds of the plurality of variable display units are made lower by matching the scroll speeds. Since the reach variable display is performed so that the combination mode of the predetermined identification information can be scrolled in a state in which the special display mode can be set, the player can be expected to stop in the special display mode. There is no innovative and interesting reach variable display. In addition, a highly entertaining reach variable display that keeps the expectation for a long time so that the player cannot recognize to which type the special display mode occurs until the end is displayed.
